Watford 1 Leicester 2: Leicester up and away

WHAT Dion Dublin needs to learn about the game at 36 you have to wonder, but he played a key part in Leicester’s first away win in the Championship for 10 months.

For 45 minutes, Dublin was outstanding. He made one clearance off the line from the excellent Ashley Young and turned back the years by appearing in the opposition box at every opportunity.

His error three minutes after the restart allowed Young to equalise for a Watford team who found themselves trailing again moments later when Patrick Kisnorbo headed in the 51st-minute match-winner.

But as Watford looked for a second equaliser, there was no greater presence than Dublin. His strength at the back rarely allowed them a look-in. Leicester manager Craig Levein said: “At 36 he is not going to change. He will learn from his boob and it cannot detract from his performance.”
